“The giver of every good and perfect gift has called upon us to mimic His giving, by grace through faith, and this is not of ourselves.” - Nicholas (“Santa Claus,” 270-326), Bishop of Myra // Prints available at ourchurchspeaks.com // O God, our heavenly Father, you raised up your faithful servant Nicholas to be a Bishop and pastor in your Church and to feed your flock: Give abundantly to all pastors the gifts of your Holy Spirit, that they may minister in your household as true servants of Christ and stewards of your divine mysteries; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen. // #ourchurchspeaks #benlansingcreative #churchhistory #nicholasofmyra #saintnicholas #santaclaus #santa #Repost @ourchurchspeaks ・・・ https://www.instagram.com/p/CX39bbsJ96j/?utm_medium=tumblr
